Alexa fluor 488 and 568 coupled secondary antibodies

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

Alexa Fluor 488- and 568-coupled secondary antibodies are fluorescent dye-labeled antibodies used in various immunodetection techniques. The Alexa Fluor 488 dye emits green fluorescence, while the Alexa Fluor 568 dye emits orange-red fluorescence. These antibodies can be used to detect and visualize target proteins in samples, such as cells or tissue sections.

Immunohistochemistry and Immunofluorescence Staining

Immunohistochemistry was performed by using the peroxidase protocol. Briefly, tissue sections were deparaffinized in xylene, hydrated through descending ethanol, and endogenous peroxidase activity was eliminated by incubation in 3% hydrogen peroxide in methanol for 5 min. After antigen-retrieval in boiling sodium citrate buffer (10 mM), the sections were incubated with primary antibodies for overnight at 4 °C. The signal was developed using Histostain-SP kit (Invitrogen). For the double immunofluorescence staining, the sections were incubated overnight at 4 °C with a mixture of antibodies. After being washed with TBS, the sections were incubated with a mixture of Alexa Fluor 488- and 568-coupled secondary antibodies (Invitrogen) for detection. Images were acquired through Confocal (Olympus FV1000).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
